I booked IELTS academic test position just now and will take the exam on 2nd July. Here is my plan.
Time
I think the lockdown will continue at least 2 weeks. During this time, I need to take this advantage to study more because I will at least save to time travelling from home to workplace. Approximately I can donate 4 hours every day on English.
7：30-9：00 Input practice by listening to podcast, watching news and so on while morning wash and cooking.
9:00-10:00 The most valuable time should be invested in the weakest chain, so I will work on my blog to write something or to practice speaking (I am also considering posting some thing on Youtube to practice spoken English).
10:00-19:00 Work first but if it is possible, I will spend as much time as I can on English.
19:00-20:00 Considering the possibility of overtime working, it is better to do some input practice because reading and listening might relatively be my strengths.
20:00-21:00 Great time to do some speaking practice because it will be morning in America and noon in Europe.
21:00-22:00 Family time.
22:00-23:30 Time to rest.
After lockdown, I will do some input practice on the way between office and home.
Learning methods
I believe that interest is the best teacher, so I will try not to just work on the text book.
